Q:

Hi,

At the moment I’m running the ‘0 0 20 20 30’ build (i.e. loads of thoughness and condition duration decrease). This build is working fine as it should – tanky. However I’m doubting about the food I’m using at the moment:

- Bowl of poultry soup (-40% condition duration, +40 vitality)
- Superior sharpening stone (6% of thoughness to power, 4% of vit to power)

The first one is required, but the second one could be swapped for a Master Maintenance Oil. The sharpening stone boosts my power from 1650 to 1825 and the oil gives me a boost from 22% crit chance to 30% (will go higher, getting my asc amulet, last accesoiry and ring soon).

So my question is, will the extra crits outperform the extra power?

Thanks in advance,

Effective power stat is pretty precise measurement for your offensive power.

My guess would be you´re better off with stones.

The best scaling offensive stat is Power no question always power. If you have to chose between 1 Power is always the better choice. With your stats I would go power 1650 is kind of low
